Fedora packages don't create a mythtv user in the usual sense: there is
no /home/mythtv directory. mythbackend runs as user mythtv. I assume
it spawns mythfilldatabase as the same user. Where is the xmltv data
going to go? Where does the channel setup data go? I'm confused. All
the pages I've read so far keep referring to mythbuntu and creating a
mythtv user. Do I need to do that so I can run xmltv config as that
user? Other stuff suggests running xmltv setup (and mythfilldatabase?)
as any user, then creating symlinks, again to /home/mythtv/.mythtv. Do
I have to have /home/mythtv/.mythtv for this to work? Would I be advised
to create an actual profile with password and literally log in as mythv
to run this stuff?
In a more general sense, why do I have to do anything? Mythtv has been
filling my database for years. So now there's a new format for the same
data from the same source for the same channels already in my database.
Why do we need to do anything? Couldn't one write a script to do this?
Or, better yet, add some code to the existing program(s) to do it?
